It's a whole file made of thousands of pages, pictures, analysis, that simply vanished. This discovery was made by M. Jean-Louis Pelletier, lawyer of Fabrice Chassery, a paparazzi present when the accident occured. He says :

"When I wanted to consult the original file, a month ago, they told me it couldn't be found. It's the first time I see that. There are some files that disappear sometimes but, in this case, that exceptional. All the more, there's still an investigation going on."

After many verifications in every possible place it could be, there's no sign of this file ...

Although, Yahoo! France said the justice made a statement to deny this information, they said the file was here, in the palace of justice in Paris.

This is an interesting article from the Rumormill -- a little too complicated for me to follow though. It says Diana and Dodi first hooked up in November of 1996. It would seem if Diana's father and M al Fayed were best friends for over 10 years that Diana would have met Dodi sooner?

I had also heard D & D were at the very least reacquainted again sometime in Nov 1996. Didn't this meeting somehow involve an afterhours private visit of Harrod's along with the model Cindy Crawford? This "rumor" would give more creedence why the princess felt comfortable enough to accept Mohammed's invitation for a vacation. Mr. Al-Fayed was or had been recently embroiled in scandal. Diana would probably have had to have some very strong incentive to entice her aboard Mr. Al-Fayed's yacht. This action, at the time, had Dickie Arbiter calling her "mad" and others scratching their brows wondering what would make Diana accept such an invitation.

D&D had met each other at various events including polo and the London premeir of "Hook".

What is also a "rumor" is that the "Diana death car" was supposedly misplaced in a French wrecking yard...Now how does THAT happen?

Kelly, along with Gloria Allred, were out there getting a lot of publicity for her pain she felt in Dodi's "dumping" of her. She was "warning" Diana to watch out for Dodi or he might break her heart also. The last time I remember seeing her on television was a comment of her saying something to the effect "If Dodi had been with me, he might still be alive."

I don't know the background, friends or associates of this woman. It is always a prudent investigation to include the interview of people who were intimate with the deceased in a reasonably close time.

Kelly could offer clues to threats or enemies of Dodi, his habits and the security around Dodi.

It was a big mistake that Scotland Yard Laid Off to protect Princess Diana

Very true. What are the benefits of the HRH title? Isn't there automatic police protection for any HRH that visits a foreign country? Was Diana deliberately manipulated into giving up her royal protection?

I've often thought the police conspired to make themselves a nuisance and intrusive so Diana would plead her case for their dismissal. People of far less status believe very basic protection is necessary. Yet I think her protection detail somehow got in the way of her "love life". Surely she aware of the nutters and the crazies who showed up at her engagements...But remember, according to PD Jepshon, Diana, around this time, was rabidly paranoid pulling up Kensington Palace carpet looking for microphones and spyware.

Remember, how Jayne Fincher made a formal complaint againt the aggressive paparazzi to Buckingham Palace? In her book, she sighs with regret that nothing constructive for Diana came from her personal complaint.

It is this "throwing Di to the wolves" that caused a lot of the outcry when her death occurred.

Diana gave up protection from scotland yard after the separation it was never taken away from her.

Right, I know. I was referring to why Diana felt it so necessary to give up her royal protection. I suspect what Pinkie said may be closer to the mark.

The naivete which led Diana to this decision was fatal. One would think her close friends or Paul Burrell would say, "Look, Princess, you have Mark Saunders (a very bad and nasty pap who had no qualms in cursing Diana relentlessly when trying to take her photo) on your back so, please, at least let Will Carling be around to give these nasty paparazzi blokes a grim mug or a shake of his mighty fist."

The best of both worlds here for Di...a big, beefy bodyguard and someone to make the afternoon go a littler faster...

I still get sad thinking if she had moved to Malibu with Dodi she might have made Kevin Costner's "Bodyguard II"......

According to The Times Online, the dossier has been found. I've heard that it's almost impossible to get anything done in France due to copious amounts of red tape at every bureaucratic level. I'm starting to believe it.
